I'm one of the 10% who doesn't like the taste of cilantro. It's no big
thing; I just don't cook with it. :)

I may have mentioned this before but there seem to be three reactions to
cilantro: can't taste it, love it and it tastes like soap. In my
immediate family we had all three with different people. I like it!

You seem to do a lot of - whatever the correct term is - Asian/Oriental
cooking, Jim. Coriander leaves are quite popular in those cuisines. I
don't cook those sorts of foods so it's easy enough to avoid. :) You
may have my share. ;)

I do a fair amount of Indian and Chinese cooking because restaurant
versions tend to use a lot of fat, especially Indian vegetarian food.
The last can taste very good but they are generous (!) with the ghee.

My reaction is mild dislike of the leaves, though the stems, I find those
pretty offensive. A little bit of leaves in pico de gallo, yeah, I wouldn't
add them myself, but I don't mind it much. I have a similar reaction to
basil, fennel, and some other strong flavors.

In May we were assistant wagon masters for our RV club. I was asked to
make migas to serve for breakfast one of the days of the rally. I
deliberately left out the cilantro because of this phenomenon.

Knowing you, I'm pretty sure you offered it on the side. :)

I simply don't like it, so I don't cook with it. It's easy enough to avoid.

True enough. I don't think I even experienced cilantro until the early
80s, when Taco Bell introduced its first steak fajitas. First time I
tasted one, I was taken aback by the overwhelming flavor of cilantro.
WTF is this bizarre stuff!? Fortunately, I was not one of the soap
freaks and learned to love the herb. Still do. In everthing from
TexMex to Thai to Indian cuisine.

Here's an interesting bit of fajita history:

FWIW, my wife used to dislike it. She acquired a taste for it and now
she likes it a lot.

I was wondering how that fit into it. I got used to
it and now I like it well enough. It doesn't taste like
soap to me any more.

Only 10%? Judging by the volume of negative reactions I see in this
ng, I would think it's a lot more than that.

Indeed. One might expect that people in a cooking forum might have
broader tastes and food interests than the general public, but I would
have thought that it would be at least 50% here.

Maybe they should have looked at it within cultures where it is more
popular. Never heard of the stuff when I was a kid and I don't think I
ever even tried it until the 90s.

To me, cilantro leaves taste like soap only if they are cooked. I can
put leaves in salsa or as a garnish without getting soapiness.

Weird because... I always liked it and still do but... Once it tasted like
soap. I had grown it. It had gone to seed I thought that was why.

I don't think it tastes metallic at all, but I do love the flavor. It's
so inexpensive here that I almost always have a bunch in the fridge.
Usually 25 cents a bunch.

It is usually closer to $2 a bunch here, and those bunches are way more
than you need for any dish so most of it ends up going to waste. In the
summer have it coming out my ears in the garden.

Rinse it and stick it in a zip lock bag and put it in the freezer. Snip
off as much as you need from the frozen bunch. It's not perfect, but it
will give you the flavor you want in your dish.

That's one other trouble with cilantro. It does not keep well in te
fridge for more than a few days and the Giant stores ask about $1.50 a
bunch. MacGruder's stores used to sell it for about 70 cents but
MacGruder's has gone.

For cilantro, I like to treat it like a posy of flowers ;) I'll
snip/cut off the very bottom of the stems and place the "bunch" in a
"vase" (er, plastic cup) with about 1" of water, then place the 'vase'
in the fridge. Changing the water daily helps, too. When I use this
method, the cilantro bunch lasts for a good week or longer.

We do this with tarragon, which poops out every winter but comes back every
spring.

Chop and freeze it in a jar. Not perfect, but wonderful when you need
it. Way, way better than the dried stuff.

I won't grow it because it goes to seed so quickly. Easier to buy it.

I should try that. I would have nothing to lose. My wife, a former
cilantro hater loved the Thai curry chicken with coconut milk that I do
and it has quite a bit of cilantro. Instead of buying an expensive
batch and using about 1/6 of it and letting the other 5/6 go to waster,
I could get 6 meals out of it.

I live long enough.
